Thanks, mdgm-ntgr. Besides LMS, what exactly is taking up so much space? And is there anything that can be done about it?

I saw in one of the other threads the SSH shell command for moving the LMS cache to data. Is there anything else that I can do to get data out of rootfs?

For the record, the command for moving the LMS cache to data appears to be the following:

mv /var/lib/squeezeboxserver /data/squeezeboxserver
ln -s /data/squeezeboxserver /var/lib/squeezeboxserver

Is it safe to do this, even though my 314 is in diagnostic mode?

That should work.

Provided the data volume is always mounted before you attempt to start LMS there shouldn't be an issue from that.

There are more things using up space on the root volume. Even with that moved across to the data volume, the root volume usage is still too high.

  I don't know how to identify what's taking up space. Terminal commands aren't my strong suit. Is there a way to ID large files through SFTP? How can I remedy this issue? I'm happy to do the work; I just need some advice and instructions.
  
  Also, I don't know if data is always mounted before LMS starts. The 314 shuts down every night and starts up every morning, and LMS is always set to "On." Does this pose a potential problem?

    You can get an idea using the du command, but the du command isn't designed for BTRFS so you get a rough idea.
    
    It should be mounted before it starts.
    
    There are other things like mysql taking up space on the root volume.
